Ebay sales

I made a mistake ! The price of the shelf space is $60 , not $6 !

Hello, Coolford. I am going to look into a local vendor that offers shelf space, I like the concept. I agree with the October thru October window, that is when I complete the bulk of my sales on ebay. During that period I try to list original box items. I also list items I can guarantee to the buyer that they are buying gift quality items, so I get the Christmas shoppers that want to buy for someone else. It's a lot of work, the hourly rate sucks, sometimes I even turn a good profit.!!!! Regards, Lou

I advertised for 2 months on Craig's list for a giant tool sale. 5 people showed up and nobody bought anything because I wouldn't give anything away. One guy got pissed because I wouldn't take $2 for a Snap-on 3/4" torque wrench. Thinking about an auction if I can find the right place.

Right now I don't have any tools on Ebay. Didn't relist the ones that didn't sell,and I will start again soon with a .99 start.
I have some on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist that have not garnered any interest either.

been thinking about selling my completed wrench board collections,but dont think i could find a buyer in the 500+ range...........then again ive never seen a similar sold item?

ya aint gonna agree,but start a few at .01,of course with the appropriate shipping....yes you might be working for nothing

I've started using the filter and only looking at listings that have free shipping.

I had a garage sale and practically gave tools away.  I did give a bunch to my friend who sells tools all the time. 

He says that lately (this year basically) hand tools like automotive tools haven't been selling.

I'm a buyer, so I like it when I go to auctions and my only competition is resellers. If there is something I'm not likely to see again I'll pay a premium. Sometimes it is crazy though.  I've  seen stuff (HF stuff) sell for more than new.

Luckily those buyers who pay too much don't recognize Stahlwille, Snapon, Starrett, and other high quality.

Chilly, What is Stahlwille ?  I've never seen or heard that name before.

1st quality German tool manufacturer. I keep Stahlwille with my Snapon, and some Macs in with them.

Today I sold to a very young kid, via Craigslist, the Duro socket set I picked up a few weeks ago.  The kid is starting a Diesel Tech course next week at Alfred State.  He said he likes to work on old hit and miss engines and other small engines.  He also bought the Greenfield die set.  He paid the asking price of $30 for the socket set, and I told him to make an offer on the die set.  He said he only had $28 and I said make an offer anyway.  Sold for $25.  Very glad to have moved both items.
